hurry up and do it!!! you wont regret it! best handling mod, after lowering.

umm....just get them to put it on when u get ur wheel alignment done..i'm sure the wheel shop would let u use their torque wrench..or rattle gun or whatever they have there that has torque settings u can adjust.
well its in
will get more pics of the front of the car once i get back from washing it

go for a drive..... take it through its paces and let us know what you think of the brace...
well took it for a spin, seems alot more tighter in the front end,
less body roll like the car doesnt throw itself the other way like it used to
well im impressed, just wish my wheel alignment wasnt out
monday will be the real test once new tyres are on :cool:

WTF?!? Did you put a sway bar on at the same time ??
How does a strut brace stop body roll? I can understand that it would tighten up the front, making the camber more consistent. But I can't see how it would stop body roll.
I'm prepared to be proven wrong.....
